Chapter 1398 Preying
Wait a minute. We nearly died there?
Something struck her like a bolt from the blue.
“Sebby, do you mean they’re fighting again?”
“Yes, but it’s different this time. They only had small fights back then. Now, the few alligators have their
eyes on that large chunk of meat, and they’re tempted to strike at any time. That’s why it’s not a
surprise that the rest of the world is having doubts about its economy,” Sebastian analyzed out loud.
It was then Sasha realized what was going on. While she was talented in investment, she was no
match for Sebastian in terms of the trends in the corporate world.
“Then what should we do now? Five percent a week is tens of billions. If the figures keep going
down…”
“There’s nothing we can do but inform the important clients about it. When we really have to, we’ll halt
our collaborations. Otherwise, Hayes Corporation will suffer an even greater loss if they get involved in
it,” Sebastian pointed out to her.
Sasha fell silent.
Doesn’t that mean a trip out of the country will be necessary?
Can Sabrina really do it?
Those were the first thoughts she had after hearing Sebastian’s reply.
However, in less than half an hour’s time, Sabrina reappeared in the group chat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
Sabrina: Sebastian, I’m telling you now that I’m not going to go. I won’t be able to deal with them. What
in the world is this? We collaborate with them when things are going fine, but when things don’t, we
stop working with them?
Sasha, Devin, and Rufus saw the message but did not answer it.
Ichika: Sab, you can’t put it that way. We have to maximize our profits. It’s not like anyone’s going to
sing our praises if our company collapses.
Sabrina replied with just an ellipsis.
Everyone could sense the fury hidden behind those three dots.
Sasha frantically intervened.
Sasha: Calm down, calm down. I’ll get Sebastian to solve this. @Sebastian @Sebastian @Sebastian
Got to get him to come quickly to appease Sabrina, Sasha thought.
Truth be told, she felt that Ichika was right; protecting the company’s profits should be their priority.
She’s good at business, huh?
Just as blood was about to shed in the group chat, someone appeared.
Solomon: I’ll go. I’ve already booked a plane ticket for tomorrow.
Ichika: Huh? Darling, but… you have a therapy session tomorrow. And besides, have you ever dealt
with a situation like this?
Solomon: That’s enough. I’ve made up my mind.
He was not going to give Ichika any chance to say more, for the longer the conversation, the likelier
she would say the wrong words.
Therefore, the conversation ended with Solomon’s decision to head overseas. Meanwhile, although
Sabrina was still fuming in the office, she did not appear in the group chat anymore.
Sasha sighed and put down her phone.
She still did not think that Solomon was not their best choice to deal with the situation. After all, it was a
sudden, major issue. Anyone with less-than-impressive capabilities would certainly fail at it.
At night, Sasha and her daughter were in the room as Sasha helped her with her revision.
“Mommy, are you going to where Ian is again?”
“What?”
Sasha paused in her motions to look at her daughter, confounded by her words.
“No. Who told you I’m going to Ian’s again?”
“Matt. He called Daddy earlier, and Daddy told him that he has to take good care of me because you’re
going to where Ian is,” the girl said softly.
Sasha froze.
Is that so?
Why don’t I know anything about this?
Sasha had thought that the girl was pulling her leg. Yet, to her surprise, she spotted two people from
SteelFort as she went downstairs.
“Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Hayes has called us and instructed us to send you to the island to take care of Ian.”
“What?”
Sasha stood rooted to the spot.
Seriously?
Why didn’t he tell me anything about it? Why did he have to make it so sudden?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Has he decided to head overseas?”
“Yes. We just received a call from him before hurrying over. It seems like Mr. Hayes has been
accompanying Ian the entire afternoon. He told us to remind you to give him a bath when you’re there.”
Sasha let out an audible sigh.
No wonder he didn’t respond when I tagged him like mad in the group chat this afternoon.
He was playing hard with his son.
That night, Sasha went to the island via helicopter. By the time she arrived, it was already one in the
morning.
“Madam, you’ve come,” greeted Wendy, who already knew she was coming, with a wide smile.
Sasha nodded. “Where’s Little Ian? Is he upstairs?”
Wendy hummed in affirmation before saying, “Mr. Hayes told you to give him a bath when you arrived.
He went mountain climbing with Mr. Hayes this afternoon again. The little boy is quite happy, and they
only came back when the sun was setting.”
Wendy could not stop the smile that crept upon her face. She could see that the boy was returning to
his usual child-like self, smiley and cheeky.
After their short conversation, Sasha went upstairs to see her son. Meanwhile, the two SteelFort
bodyguards sent Wendy back to Avenport to take care of Vivian and Matteo.
Of course, Karl and Xayden remained.
With Sasha and Ian there, Sebastian had to be even more careful, for he had a family to return to.
The night after Sasha arrived on the island was a peaceful one with her son until someone came the
next morning.
